A race isn't won until it's over.

A lot of people criticize Formula 1 as an unnecessary risk. But what would life be like if we only did what is necessary?

Taking your first title is much more complicated and more difficult; it takes years of work - from go-kart to Formula One. The second comes more easily, because you've already got the experience.

This aircraft tops everything. All the others look old as compared to this one.

From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.

Ultimately, an aircraft owner does not want to have to deal with all the intricate details which are necessary for the business.

It was the same with Schumacher: the need for the adrenaline rush, to push himself to the limit was always there. So without a Formula One car to race with he went on to do motorcycle racing and other stupid things, and obviously that wasn't enough to keep him happy, so he had a problem to sort out and returning to racing was his answer to the problem.
